Incident Details
According to a police affidavit, at least three witnesses saw Kelly shoot Tunstall at around 1:00 am on Sept. 7. Clark and Parker were killed later that day as Kelly drove through Memphis, live-streaming some of his and prominent officers' activities on a citywide manhunt, police said. Police said three other people were injured in the shooting. The prosecution accuses Kelly of attempted first-degree murder and more than 20 other counts, including reckless danger with a deadly weapon, act of terrorism, property theft and evasion of arrest. Kelly didn't plead for Tunstall's murder. Jennifer Case, Kelly's attorney, did not immediately respond to a call to comment on the new allegations and declined to comment on the first murder charge to the Associated Press. The shooting prompted police to warn residents to take shelter on the spot, close a baseball stadium and college campus, and stop public bus service. Kelly was arrested after crashing a stolen car while fleeing the police. Relatives told The Associated Press that Parker was a mother of three who worked as a medical assistant at a clinic near West Memphis, Arkansas. Clark worked as a campus security guard at Christian Brothers University after retiring from a career as a prison officer, the Memphis-based school said in a statement provided to news outlets.
